Psychologists study mental processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people and animals relate to one another and the environment. To do this, psychologists often look for patterns that will help them understand and predict behavior using scientific methods, principles, or procedures to test their ideas. Through such research studies, psychologists have learned much that can help increase understanding between individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, nations, and cultures.

•Job opportunities are naturally best for individuals with higher degrees.

CCU offers the following online degrees: Associate’s Degrees in Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Healthcare Administration, and Marketing; Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Healthcare Administration, Management, Marketing, and Psychology; MBA’s with concentrations in General Business, and Human Resources Mgmt; Master’s in Education in Curriculum & Instruction, and Education Administration; and a Master of Science in Management and Psychology.

I spoke to CCU and they require a BS in Pys. or 5 years experience in the Psy. field. It looks like I can't go there.

My impression is that the University of West Alabama's MSCE in Counseling /Psychology may waive the GRE or MAT if you have a Master's already. If memory serves, you don't need a psych background. It's relatively inexpensive - somewhere in the $8K or $9K range. A downside is that the MSCE designation might cause a little headscratching. An upside is that it is RA.

Counselors work in diverse community settings designed to provide a variety of counseling, rehabilitation, and support services. Their duties vary greatly, depending on their specialty, which is determined by the setting in which they work and the population they serve. Although the specific setting may have an implied scope of practice, counselors frequently are challenged with children, adolescents, adults, or families that have multiple issues, such as mental health disorders and addiction, disability and employment needs, school problems or career counseling needs, and trauma. Counselors must recognize these issues in order to provide their clients with appropriate counseling and support.

•People interested in counseling should have a strong desire to help others and should be able to inspire respect, trust, and confidence.
•Education and training requirements vary by State and specialty, but a master’s degree is required to become a licensed counselor.
•Projected job growth varies by specialty, but job opportunities should be favorable as job openings are expected to exceed the number of graduates from counseling programs.

Re: What is the cheapest grad degree in Psychology

Originally posted by Randell1234 I am looking for an MS/MA in Psychology that does not require a GRE, 100%DL, and accredited (RA prefered but NA is OK).

I am looking at CCU at $165 per credit. Any suggestions?

Wow. Ya know Randell, I think it's good when people ask questions but you've put a lot of conditions on this search. Do you think that anyone actually knows the answer to your question? It not only has to be a 100% non-residential Masters degree, it has to be RA, it has to NOT require a GRE (would the Millers Analogies Test be OK ) and it has to be the least expensive!!!
Do you care about the color of the graduation robes? :D
Do you care about the font on the diploma? :D
Just checking.
Seriously though, I don't think anyone is going to know the answer to your question(s). However, if you do some homework you could figure it out yourself (which is usually better).

If you're looking for professional licensure, you might check your state's requirements. I'm not sure what the official distinction is between "psychology " and "counseling " but apparently, in the state of Ohio, counselors can practice with a master's degree while psychologists need the doctorate. The real bummer there is that one needs an MA in Counseling (NOT Psychology ) to sit for the counselor's licensure exam but one needs an MA in Psychology (NOT Counseling ) to get into a PhD program in Psychology .

Hey

I was, and plan to continue my enrollment at UWA (After my MFA work at Queens U of Charlotte).
UWA has a great program and my advisor has been wonderful. I think it's your best, cheapest, RA bet. The problem may come with the fact that most states that do allow a master's holder to practice independently require 48 grad semester credits for the degree. UWA is a 33 credit program.
The Miller Analogies test is really more like a fun word game than any kind of actual examination. I predict that You'll score in the high 70's on this one without even trying too hard. And, if a person can't get at least a 45 on it, and English is their first language... well, they may well need to consider another route.
Another poster here is enrolled at Capella in the doctoral counseling program (Blackbird maybe?) and he may be able to help here. The masters program at Capella is a more expensive option but a more marketable one (probably).
Always happy to help a fellow COSC alum! :-)

Liberty University used to (may still) allow students to take extra courses before filing for graduation, thereby making their 45-credit Counseling program a 60-credit one.

Would that approach work for UWA?

Yeah, that seems to be a good idea. Kinda limited in the choices in the actual "psy" designation, but the counseling section has a bunch.
If you are looking for just psychology credits, 25 seems to be the limit here. along with the 12 credit core bit.
